Traditional Arts Indiana (TAI), a partnership of the Department of
Folklore and Ethnomusicology and the Indiana Arts Commission, seeks
to identify, document, and present traditional artists throughout
Indiana. In 2002-03, TAI will focus on an apprenticeship program with
Indiana's master traditional artists, designing programming for the
Indiana State Fair, and creating print and exhibit materials from its
archival materials.

Students choose hands-on participation in aspects of these
initiatives (e.g., fieldwork, planning exhibits and programs, media
applications, publications). They also reflect on their work through
assigned readings and journal writing.
